About University Park, Florida
University Park is a neighborhood and former census-designated place located in an unincorporated area of western Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. During FIU’s early years, airport hangars were repurposed as classrooms and portions of the former runways were used for parking. As development expanded westward in Miami-Dade County, the surrounding area became known as University Park after the university campus. (Wikipedia)

What you'll actually pay, by family income
Average net price (total cost minus grants and scholarships) paid by aided students in each family-income band.

Is it worth it?
A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.
- Median earnings (10 years)
- $34,657
- Typical debt at graduation
- $9,500
- Debt vs. one year's pay
- 27%
- Out-earn a HS grad
- 39%
Typical debt would take roughly 2.7 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.
A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
The pay gap here
Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.
Men out-earn women by $4,617 (14%) a decade out.
Federal figures for former students working and not enrolled, 10 years after they first entered. A gap this wide usually reflects which majors men and women here tend to choose — not different pay for the same job.
